Trudeau jeered at BC town hall by Kinder Morgan protesters

Lorraine Burke

"I specifically took issue with him about that characterization", Notel said of a Thursday conversation with Trudeau. He struggled to be heard over jeering as he fielded a series of questions from the audience, finally directing police to remove hecklers. Additional measures, she said, are also being considered. "Goodbye. ... Yes, we are asking the police to remove you".

The prime minister was greeted by a chorus of boos amidst cheers by another section of people as he walked into the Vancouver Island University hall at Nanaimo town in British Columbia during the last lap of his cross country tour, according to CBC. But the anti-pipeline sentiment dominated much of the question-and-answer session.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, however, has said that while Kinder Morgan will be built, he has no intention of getting in-between two squabbling provinces.

Horgan, who like Notley leads an NDP government, swept into power in July after forming an alliance with his province's Green Party, which holds three seats in B.C.'s legislature.

Mr. Trudeau was pressed by members of the audience about Canada's ability to clean up an oil spill.

Notley adds there are also plans to take the issue to court. "We didn't know this was a formal thing that could really happen, and here we are being told it's not a thing". "We got that pan-Canadian plan on climate change because we were willing to move forward and demonstrate that at the same time we can continue with developing our resources in safe a secure ways".

Trudeau said $1 billion has been spent to protect B.C.'s coast and completion of the pipeline is linked to Canada's commitment to meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets.

"I would strongly encourage the British Columbia government to actually read the (National Energy Board) ruling that talks in great detail about what they claim to be concerned about - about the risk of bitumen spills", Nenshi told CTV. On Friday, Mr. Horgan accused Alberta of overreacting.

Horgan said his government's announcement that it would consult on new regulations should not set off a "trade war between good friends".
